My condolences to the family and loved ones of our dear Sister Avis. May God grant you all comfort and peace during this time.
Thank you Sister Avis for your love and passion in pursuing God's will for your life. Thank you for your role in bringing OBA to life. OBA has definitely been a blessing to my family, friends, and myself. I remember one evening in class you read to us John 17, and you mentioned that was one of your favorite chapters. John 17:4 is definitely a testimony to your life, work, and love you have brought to many; and that seed you planted will assuredly reap many fruits for our Lord and Savior.
You will be missed dear Sister Avis. Until we see you again.
Attached is a picture I took of Sister Avis in 2018.
John 17:4-9 KJV
I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. [5] And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. [6] I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. [7] Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. [8] For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. [9] I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
